Kudos to the Dallas Mavericks for relinquishing their title with dignity. The last time the defending champions were eliminated they showed no fight and class. (Just in case you forgot, the LA lakers didnt show up after being down 3-0 and were defeated in a most humiliating way. If that wasn't bad enough they resorted to dishing out cheap shots to the Mav's smallest player.)
Anyway, hope the Mav's enjoyed their ride as champs, they won and lost with class. I'll always be grateful to them for taking down the classless lakers and then the hated Heat in 2011.

Losing Chandler really hurt them. Look for them to go after the Howard's (via trade), McGee's and Hibbert's of the world, as well as DWill or Sessions to replace Kidd...........they will have a lot of money, correct?

You know who might look good in green (even though he is old) - Jason Terry!! Sign Humphries and Terry, and draft TWO big guys to go with KG (resign Green also), and we will not be too bad next year!!

I still think Howard would look good in green and it is more possible than ever before. Going a longshot to a possibility now. Wouldn't Doc and Rondo look pretty good? Now if we tank in the playoffs that could change.

I don't think that they'd let Terry go, as they'll probably want to re-load around him and novitzki. They're in a great position to reload so I wouldn't be surprised to see them bring their core back along with a big name free agent.
As Wyc Grousbec said last year, Mark Cuban genuinely roots for us when his team's not playing, so I'll root for them and hope they can reload this offseason, and be a power house in the West again next year.

That's pretty sad when you need to brag about a couple of regular season wins. But if you wanna go there, how about 153-123 all time in favor of da CELTICS!! Thanks for playin punk!!Posted by OC-CeltsFan

That is called History.The Lakers have owned the Celtics for the last 3 decades.

Owned? The last time we squared off you won by the skin of your teeth, the time prior to that you were crushed (boy that 131-92 game 6 rout was sweet)!! 2-3 in your favor the last 5 times we met, thats hardly owning anybody. The previous 7 times we met? 7-0 CELTICS!! That's getting owned my friend.

I think Mark is referring to modern day basketball, not back when the league consisted of less than 10 teams. By the way, when is the last time went back to back?

U know what's funny? You cone here to brag about your team, you're not winning this year, and you're still down 17-11 in titles, no matter how you slice and dice it. Being down 9-3 head to head is getting owned!!
Thanks for playin BynumizaLAZYTHUGLOSER!
